Abstract: 614,419. Aerials. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. Jan. 16, 1946, No. 1458. Convention date, Aug. 31, 1944. [Class 40 (vii)] A short-wave broad-band dipole aerial comprises two cylindrical conductors 1 and 3, each of length #/6 and diameter #/16, to which are attached coaxial circular fins of conductive material 15, 17, 19 and 15<1>, 17<1>, 19<1> normal to the axis of the conductors and spaced at intervals of #/32, the central fins 17 and 17<1> having a diameter of #/5 and the other fins having a diameter of #/7, whereby the impedance is maintained relatively high so that the aerial may be matched directly to available transmission lines having characteristic impedances of the order of 50-70# without the use of special impedance transformers. The fins may be regarded as providing a distributed inductance which resonates with the capacitative reactance of the cylindrical conductors over a broad band. Suitable dimensions are given for a dipole operating over a frequency band centred at 600 Mc/s. The two conductors are supported in colinear relationship upon an insulating member 5 which is secured by means of a clamp 7 to a tubular support 9 and a pair of coaxial transmission lines 11 and 13 extend through the support with their outer conductors connected to the support and their inner conductors connected to the adjacent ends of the cylindrical conductors, Figs. 2 and 3 (not shown).

Title: Improvements in automatic charging arrangements for storage batteries
IPC: H02J7/04
Filed: 1934-01-16
Abstract: 431,792. Exchange systems. TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L. M. ERICSSON, 33, Kungsgatan, Stockholm.-(Assignees of Olson, A. H., and Vigren, S. D.) Jan. 16, 1934, No. 1564. Convention date, Jan. 19, 1933. [Class 40 (iv)] [See also Group XXXV] In an arrangement for charging the single storage battery employed in small telephone exchanges, a relay arrangement connects the battery to the charging source when discharging stops, this connection being broken either by the de-energization of the relay arrangement which occurs when discharging recommences or by an electric meter which measures the energy supplied to, and the energy discharged from, the battery and interrupts the charging when the battery has been supplied with an amount of energy corresponding to that previously discharged. The battery B, Fig. 1, is supplied from an A.C. circuit N through a rectifier L when the relay R2 is energized. When the battery B commences to discharge, the circuit d and the relay R1 are energized so that R2 is deenergized and the current meter AH is connected across the shunt S2 and moves from its zero position closing the contact k. When discharging stops the relay R1 is de-energized and R2 is energized connecting the supply circuit N to the rectifier L while AH is connected across the shunt S1. The battery is then charged until either the discharge circuit is again closed or the current meter AH has returned to its zero position opening the contact k. Two modifications are described (not shown), in which the whole of the discharge current passes through the current meter the charging current passing through a resistance across which the meter is connected when necessary. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also the arrangement shown in Fig. 4 (Cancelled), in which the meter AH is provided with an extra contact q which closes, causing closure of the charging circuit when a fixed amount of energy has been discharged and remains closed until the meter has returned to its zero position. A further contact t is operated by the meter AH to short-circuit the resistance w when the battery is discharging and to break this short circuit when the battery is being charged. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 489,301. Cables. CALLENDER'S CABLE & CONSTRUCTION CO., Ltd., BRAZIER, L. G., and HAMILTON, G. M. Jan. 23, 1937, No. 2051. [Class 36] An insulated conductor is provided with a circumferentially or helically corrugated sheathing of ebonite, halogenated rubber, or rubber hydrochloride which is applied by extrusion. Except in the case of ebonite, plasticizers, such as chlorinated derivatives of naphthalene or diphenyl, in the proportion of up to 15 per cent by weight of the rubber product, may be employed to facilitate extrusion. The corrugated form of the sheath is produced by extruding it with an inside diameter larger than the diameter of the insulated conductor to which it is applied and applying to it means for reducing its diameter locally. The reduction can be effected by applying pressure by mechanical means to the outside of the sheath, either in the form of separated rings or in the form of a helix. Alternatively, the interior of the sheath as it is extruded may be subjected intermittently to a partial vacuum to constrict periodically the extruded sheath as it leaves the extrusion die. Means may be provided. for cooling the sheath as it emerges from the die, so that constriction occurs only adjacent the die.
